Can't remove Chrome extension "Savings Wizard" after mass adware infection

If you are loged in to your Google Chrome using your Google Account Log out that one and run this Fix again.


STEP 1: Run the below OTL fix
  1. Start OTL.exe
  2. Copy/paste the following text written inside of the code box into the Custom Scans/Fixes box located at the bottom of OTL

    Code:
    :OTL
    :OTL
    CHR - plugin: Error reading preferences file
    CHR - Extension: Savings Wizard = C:\Users\Jamie\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ajakpekbmnkgnjbpajgkdhimcbeoocam\1.0_0\
    [2014/01/20 20:39:14 | 000,940,775 | ---- | M] () (No name found) -- C:\Users\Jamie\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3slkmx03.default\extensions\{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}.xpi
    
    
    :commands
    [emptytemp]
    [reboot]
    
    
    :commands
    [emptytemp]
    [reboot]

  3. Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  4. Let the program run unhindered, reboot when it is done
  5. Attach the new log produced by OTL (C:\_OTL)
 
Thanks for your help with this but I decided to restore a backed-up clean image as it seemed like the easiest and quickest thing to do at this point.

Thanks again for all your help, it is very much appreciated
